Security, privacy and compliance begin at the endpoint

Local, state and federal government agencies are prime targets for hackers, whether politically motivated, seeking information they can sell, or simply engaged in mischief. By providing secure network access for a wide range of devices and user populations, ForeScout CounterACT® can help government agencies protect their confidential data and support their compliance efforts with mandated policies and regulations such as FISMA, NERC, ISO/IEC 27001 and the GDPR. ForeScout can:

Identify managed and unmanaged devices and control the spread of malware across the network

Guard against targeted threats that can result in stolen data and network downtime
